Isn’t using \they\ is just better all around because

• Not everyone identifies as binary, so they makes it better for everyone

• Not everyone is willing to come out and reveal their identity, especially at workplace, so why only use correct term with those who reveal themselves. It is not relevant at work, in fact it may lead to biases

• Specific pronouns do increase cognitive overload for everyone. Imagine trying to remember not only names but also pronouns of 100s of colleagues and friends. Linkedin has started adding pronouns? If you forget, someone will get offended.

• Now even conferences are manufacturing pronouns pins. These pins get discarded and this just causes more waste

\They\ is just simpler and better for everyone. I think we can even start to eliminate \he\ and \she\ to make more inclusive society.

They removed \don’t be evil\ from their code of conduct, so it is ok now. /s
